Siksika Tribe

The Siksika, a prominent tribe of the Siksika Confederacy, reside on a reservation in Alberta, Canada. In 1905, they were known as the Running Rabbit and Yellow Horse bands and included several subtribes. Their culture, akin to other Plains tribes, involved buffalo hunting and significant social structures, including various dances and secret societies. Historically, they expanded their territory following the acquisition of horses and firearms, though they faced significant population declines due to disease and resource depletion. In 1909, their total population was reported at 4,635.
